The Start of Something Great…GofG

Maxine Hicks for The New York Times ... SOCIALITE Rachelle Hruska is the face behind GuestofaGuest.com, an online event diary.

In this part of the world – The Fabulous Humptons – it’s difficult to avoid celebrity news and gossip – something we have tried to resist, keeping to relevant real estate info as much as possible.

Well, here’s one stunning up-and-comer who not only makes celebrity fun, she is making the pursuit of it admirable, having started Guest of a Guest, a tasteful, positive side of life social site that makes everyone look their best in the process.

Guest of a Guest chronicles night life from the city and the Hamptons through dozens of daily posts and photographs. For followers of such coverage, the coin of the realm has traditionally been exclusivity, a sneering velvet-roped rejection. But GofG, as it calls itself, gives civilian readers the illusion that they can attend these parties, too, as virtual guests. Who would believe that the effusiveness of Nebraska Nice could sell? But in bad-news times, maybe that’s precisely why it does: the site, Ms. Hruska said, which began on April 1, 2008, broke even just this month.

So nice that a “Real Estate Blog” succumbing to the same brainless blather that fills the East End during this time of the year. Why not celebrate all that is naturally beautiful on the East End, rather than all those self important people that bring all that is wrong about summer in “the hamptons”

Patrick,
As I said, celebrity is something I don;t spend a great deal of time on, but I do believe that the GofG business model is something worth recognizing, and…speaking of “naturally beautiful” look at the picture of Rachelle above.
